Prenzlow Photography is a passion that began organically in 2011 out of a love of capturing moments of passion, determination, and competition in the area of competitive cycling.

As a full-time marketing instructor, I also enjoy that this business provides an excellent opportunity to practice what I teach.

What a fun night! Koochella asked if I would set-up a small photo booth for “Koochella Presents Save the NSC Velodrome Part 1.” at Fulton Beer on Sunday night. I was happy to be asked and excited to be a part of a fundraising event for the NSC Velodrome. I only...

Saturday was a gorgeous day to drive down to Bloomington and shoot a few hours of Cross for Tots. Jay, Kristy, and all the volunteers with the help of Hollywood Cycles and Penn Cycle & Fitness did an amazing job of putting on a race that fit the personalities of the...
